Lose Weight And Burn Fat

Get the most out of your training regime by avoiding non productive exercises and bad dietary habits.

Avoid isolation exercises (unless you are a serious bodybuilder targeting a weak area before competition). Muscles like to work together as opposed to individually in order to create a certain joint action. Actors like Ryan Renalds in the 'Green Lantern' and Daniel Craig in James bond all got big for their parts by doing compound exercises ie exercising multiple muscle groups. This is also true for female stars who are more concerned with toning up and losing weight. A compound or multi joint exercise target generally the large muscle groups meaning you get the most out of your workouts for any given time. Good examples of these exercises replicate how the body works naturally. Some examples include squats, lunges, deadlift, pull ups, press ups, turkish get ups and kettlebell swings. Focus at least 80% of your efforts on compound exercises.

Eat your calories as opposed to drinking them.In short without going into the science when you drink your calorie intake the hypothalamus in the brain does not really register the full feeling. And so when you drink high calorie drinks the body still does not feel full so in turn will not change your desire to eat. Drinking calories can in time contribute to weight loss.....water does not have calories so drink plenty.

Use free weights as instead of fixed weight resistance machines.

If you look at the bench press using a machine the bar can only move up and down which is not how the ebody likes to perform tasks and can put a lot of strain on your joints. Instead when using free weights the path of the weight follows an arc which is how the body prefers to perform. And in addition to being kinder to your joints free weights help to train the stabilizer muscle groups which are all important for stability and injury prevention. You may need a friend as a spotter if you are lifting heavy free weights. Courteney cox from the tv comedy friends puts her figure down to a training regime focusing largely on her stabilizer muscles.
